Fear of death can no more stop usfrom our pressing here below.For our Lord empowered us totriumph over every foe.Alleluia! Alleluia! On to victory now we go.

Every day to us is Easter,with its resurrection song.When in trouble move the fasterTo our God who rights the wrong.Alleluia! Alleluia! See the power of heavenly throngs.

Easter people, raise your voices,sounds of heaven in earth should ring.Christ has brought us heaven’s choices;heavenly music let it ring.Alleluia! Alleluia! Easter people, let us sing!

William M. JamesThe United Methodist Hymnal, No. 304

Join us this month as we celebrate the fifty days of Easter as Easter People. We will be looking at the second, third, and fourth chapters of Acts as we think about what it means to hold things in common and be a true community of God.
